I find tufts of grass, -when sheltered 
by walls or trees, very productive, 
more especially, in winter. In such 
places Clivina Jossor, Notiophilus pal- 
ustris, Leistus fulvibarbis and rufes- 
cens, Cyclirus rostratus, Cardbus ca- 
tenulatus, violaceus and granulatus, 
Loricera pillicornis, Calathus piceus, 
cisteloides, and melanocephalus, Ani- 
sotoma ovalis, PTuedon betides &c &c., 
occur commonly. Thos. G. Bishop,

L.E PIDOPTERA. 
C. Mixtana bred. It may he in- 
teresting to some of your readers to 
know that I have bred Cheimatophila 
Mixtana. On Sep. 2nd, when search- 
ing amongst flowers of Calluna Vul- 
garis, I observed a dark green larva 
feeding upon the Calluna. On boxing 
it I at once saw that it was a larva I 
had not before met with. On search- 
ing a little farther I found three more. 
They were then all about full fed. 
Two of them changed to pale green 
pupae on the 9 th of September, en- 
closed in earthen cocoons. The first 
Imago made its appearance on the 
10th inst, thus only remaining in the 
pupa state, a month. 
I have also had the following spe- 
cies this season, which I had not before 
observed in this district. P. Rufana 
from Willow ; P. Lipsiana, from 
Myriea gale : also R. Occultana from 
Pinus sylvestris ; M. Relgiaria larva 
on heath in April ; and E. Erosaria, 
larva on Oak, from the end of July 
until the middle of August. I have 
also met with the larva of P. Chaonia 
and Podonwa. I find the larva of 
Eupithecia Trisignata in- the greatest 
plenty in this district. Tripunctata 
is very scarce, I have the whole of 
the family of Cerura in pupa. T.
